When to stop reading a series? The "Casca" series by Barry Sadler. Good story... Very original... but when you get around volume 15 (out of 23) it becomes pretty clear that the muse has abandoned the author. On the other hand, I (and many others) continued to buy them. Make of that what you will. -----Original Message----- From: Ike Porter [mailto:ikep at umbc.edu] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 1:17 PM To: Mark A Mandel Cc: dragaera at dragaera.info Subject: Re: series advice, was RE: Wear Brust on your Chest On Tue, 3 Jun 2003, Mark A Mandel wrote: > On Mon, 2 Jun 2003, Ike Porter wrote: > > #Something I've always wanted to see was a site where people could > advise #other readers when to stop reading a series.
